Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 230: Assisting the Breakthrough

Chapter 230: Assisting the Breakthrough

Zhang Haoxuan instinctively turned his head to look at Tang San.

Tang San glanced back at him, then gently nodded his head.

Zhang Haoxuan immediately said, “In that case, it’s useless for all of us to be here; we are just getting anxious together. Let’s go outside; having Si Ru alone to help him will be enough. If there’s any news, let Tang San pass it on. We can also discuss our strategy.”

Guan Longjiang looked at Tang San with some confusion, but he was already being pulled out by Zhang Haoxuan.

Mu Enqing and Mu Yunyu quickly followed suit.

Mu Yunyu’s complexion was rosy. Not only had her body significantly recovered, but she had finally broken through to the eighth order, and her aura had significantly increased.

Watching them leave, Tang San came to Du Bai’s side, silently sensing his changes.

He himself possessed the Discerning Eye of Heaven, which made him extremely sensitive to the perception of fate, elements, and spirit.

Du Bai’s bloodline energy was constantly surging within him; his bloodline was in turmoil and it seemed to be undergoing bizarre changes. These changes seemed to result in the conversion of bloodline power into spiritual power, yet his sea of consciousness was already at capacity. The surplus spiritual power thus leaked out, clashing with the spiritual power born within his bloodline, causing Du Bai immense pain.

Realizing this, Tang San vaguely understood something.

“Teacher Si, please stop for a moment,” Tang San said softly.

“Hmm?” Si Ru opened his eyes wide and looked at Tang San in confusion.

Tang San spoke softly, “Teacher Si Ru, have you noticed that Du Bai’s spiritual power seems to be of two kinds?”

“Two kinds?” Si Ru exclaimed in surprise, “How can a person have two kinds of spiritual power? It’s merely divided into two parts, that’s all. They…” He trailed off suddenly, his eyes revealing a trace of astonishment.

He stimulated his own divine consciousness to feel Du Bai’s spiritual power fluctuations, and to his surprise, he discovered that the spiritual power generated from Du Bai’s bloodline and the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness actually differed.

The liquid spiritual power within the sea of consciousness was stable and vast, whereas the spiritual power born from his bloodline carried a somewhat ethereal and elusive feeling.

“It seems to be a bit different.” Si Ru said in surprise. He had been stabilizing Du Bai’s physical condition, calming his raging bloodline, and controlling the spiritual power born from the bloodline to prevent them from having too strong an impact on Du Bai’s sea of consciousness, allowing them only gradual contact with the sea of consciousness.

“What should we do? His Celestial Fox Transformation is too unique, so there are no precedents to follow. This young man is just too damn hasty, and after consuming the Purple Sun Fruit, his spiritual power increased too quickly, causing the bloodline power in his body to surge as well.”

Tang San suggested, “Why not try to let them communicate if they’re trying to? I think letting them merge might be actually what he needs to do to break through. It will put a lot of pressure on his sea of consciousness, though. Instead of protecting his body, you might try to protect his sea of consciousness and make sure it doesn’t collapse because of all that spiritual power. The two types of spiritual power look like they’re trying to merge by themselves anyway.” UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Si Ru’s method was flawed from the start; he should have been stabilizing not Du Bai’s body but his sea of consciousness. Tang San explained this in a way he hoped would make sense to the teacher without making himself look ridiculous.

Zhang Haoxuan had also returned from outside, just in time to hear Tang San’s words.

“I think we can give it a try. The effect of the Celestial Fox Transformation is, after all, on the spiritual level. Evolution should also occur on the spiritual level. Si Ru, you use your divine consciousness to protect his sea of consciousness, and I’ll make sure his body stays in one piece. We’ll respond promptly to any changes.”

“Okay,” Si Ru decided on the spot. Du Bai’s condition was not good at all, and his state of consciousness was precarious.

Immediately, Zhang Haoxuan sat down in front of Du Bai, placing his right hand over his heart, silently sensing the changes in his body. Meanwhile, Si Ru’s eyes flickered with a faint golden light as he released the restriction on the spiritual energy born from the bloodline. Instead, he used his divine consciousness to protect Du Bai’s sea of consciousness.

When he let go, a mighty surge of spiritual waves instantly burst forth from Du Bai’s body, creating a storm of consciousness that seemed to sweep the entire room. Even Tang San was left in a daze by the shock. A liquid-like white light flowed out from Du Bai’s eyes, causing him to let out a pain-filled roar.

Tang San now understood why Si Ru had chosen to use his power to stabilize Du Bai’s body; the transformation was indeed too great, and the priority was first to suppress his current state. It had been the right call at that time.

Using the Discerning Eye of Heaven, Tang San closely observed Du Bai, feeling his transformation. If Du Bai’s Celestial Fox Vision could break through to the fifth order, then Tang San would also have the possibility of breaking through, thus completing the most crucial step before achieving a total cultivation breakthrough to the seventh order. Therefore, Du Bai’s transformation was likely a precursor to the changes Tang San himself would have to endure.

Tang San could feel that after Si Ru released the seal, the long-suppressed spiritual energy in Du Bai’s bloodline instantly surged upward, fiercely storming into the sea of consciousness and clashing with Du Bai’s original liquid spiritual power. The two powers repelled each other and merged at the same time, hence the overflow.

The white light flashed and disappeared; without hesitation, Tang San maximized the effect of the Celestial Fox Vision, bestowing a stroke of luck upon Du Bai.

Instantly, the two types of spiritual forces circulating within Du Bai’s mind became smoother. Their collisions decreased, and the speed of their integration increased. This caused Du Bai’s body to tremble even more violently, but the white liquid energy flowing from his eyes diminished.

A different faint white light began to seep from the corners of his eyes, not dispersing far but settling around his body before slowly merging into his skin, turning it snow-white. At the same time, an indistinct white silhouette appeared above his head.

It resembled a white fox, its profound eyes seemingly endless in depth, with deep blue halos flickering within. Behind it, nine massive white tails gently floated. Among them, one tail was solid, and the second was also beginning to solidify, changing from the base upward.

Tang San’s heart shook, and he came to a realization. The Celestial Fox clan seemed to be different from other demon clans.

For other demon clans, a qualitative change occurred at the fourth order, then at the seventh. However, this change seemed to start from the fifth order for the Celestial Fox clan. Growing a second tail was undoubtedly a considerable transformation, far greater than whatever changes Du Bai had experienced while breaking through to the fourth order. Without a doubt, once Du Bai completed the breakthrough to the fifth order, his Celestial Fox Transformation might undergo major changes, possibly even resolving issues with his bloodline.

The real advancement thus finally began. Thanks to the blessing of luck from Tang San’s Celestial Fox Vision, the most difficult part had passed.

What Tang San, Si Ru, and Zhang Haoxuan did not know was that the Celestial Fox clan’s realm advancement always required the assistance of companions. Controlling fate was quite literally an act against the heavens. Without the support of companions, a backlash of fate during one’s breakthrough would lead to significant problems, making success nearly impossible.

Therefore, without Tang San’s arrival and the fortunate ability to cultivate the Celestial Fox Transformation through the Mysterious Heaven Technique, Du Bai would have never broken through to the fifth order in his lifetime, or would have perished during the attempt.

Du Bai’s trembling gradually lessened, and the ethereal silhouette of the Celestial Fox above his head began to solidify. He radiated a soft white light, which enveloped his body like a saintly halo.
